…with the timeline, that Ian Bailey seemed to know some details about Sophie’s killing before those details had become known and that was the first suspicion of the police…he’d known that she wasn’t sexually assaulted…

I remember all that from the first few epsiodes of the Pod cast too and I was definitely thinking he was guilty at that point

…when her parents went to see her in the mortuary and they’d obviously done every thing they could to conceal her facial damage..oh my Lord, that’s a vision that they’ll always carry…I know and understand the awful emotional turmoil of her husband…but that he didn’t to see for himself to help him believe that she was gone…and they were the ones to have to do that ….

It's just ever parents worst nightmare to lose a child but to lose her in such a violent and brutal way, it doesn't even bare thinking about, does it?

…no it really doesn’t…but for it to have been such a violent death as well…the layers of nightmare that places on that death as well…and literally look stare it in her face… it really does break your heart for them…

…I’ve always felt that it was Ian Bailey but as has been said, the suspects were very limited to people that the Garda could investigate and Ian Bailey was the number 1 ….but there were also possibilities of her own family and her husband who had been having an affair with the person who became his 4th wife just 18months after Sophie’s death….her mother had also been the victim of a violent murder….he had an alibi but could have arranged for someone to kill her….

…I honestly don’t know anymore whether Ian Bailey killed Sophie but in the eyes of the law and French justice, he’s indeed guilty of her murder…I feel that he’s a deeply unpleasant man…and if he is innocent of Sophie’s murder, he’s guilty of bringing so much on himself…like he wanted to be that centre of attention for all the wrong reasons and being the control type person he appears to be, he felt that he would just be able to shake it off….I didn’t see any sense from him of what Jules’ life has been or the family of Sophie…he only really seems to have a sense of himself and the impact….

I was leaning to thinking maybe he was set up until I saw the pictures of battered Jules, the jury is out for me currently, on ep 3, Jule was a drinker so it is possible he left the house, but given how tiny the community is if the was a link between him and Sophie it would be known, and what would bring him out there if he didn't know her

…Its interesting how Ian Bailey referred to Sophie as ‘that woman’ at one point…he didn’t even say her name and the way he referred to Jules a few times as ‘her’, it feels as though he has such contempt/low regard for females…and yet he made comment that he doesn’t feel any anger with everything/insisting on his innocence….I’m glad that Jim Sheridan responded in the way he did…hmmmmm, excuse me..?…his anger is so apparent, his lack of thought for anyone except himself is so apparent….
